Braam’s ongoing aim to create a greater awareness of the power of the individual and need to protect our national parks and natural resources drove him to an environmental charity run of 532km in 11 days (Plett-CT) and a 620km plight from Tsitsikamma National Park to Kirstenbosch Gardens to raise funds to assist South African National Parks in its ongoing fight against the poaching of our natural resources.

In 2006, against our country’s medical and sporting specialists’ advice, Braam Malherbe and partner David Grier ran theGreat Wall of China (4218km) in 98 days! He raised R500 000 for Operation Smile, a charity that facilitates reconstructive surgery for impoverished children born with facial deformities, such as cleft palates.

In 2008, after serious knee surgery and his doctors saying he’d never run again, Braam Malherbe and partner David Grier headed yet another campaign : “Smile around South Africa”, and ran around the entire coastline from Namibia to Mozambique (3278km). He raised in excess of R2 million for Operation Smile, enough to provide approximately 500 cleft palate operations.

As a motivational speaker Braam places great emphasis on embracing change as a tool to reaching one’s full potential as a key component to personal growth, and challenging mediocrity, by sharing these world-record adventures and spreading his message that “nothing is impossible”.

Braam is someone who not only has incredible energy but is also extremely driven. Combine these two elements with a deep connection with nature and an equally deep sense of the urgency to conserve our natural world, together with life-changing personal experiences to draw on, as well as an ability to impart his feelings with passion and conviction, and you have a person who can not only inspire a live audience as a motivational speaker but who can hold viewers’ attention and even persuade them on a course of action. This is a powerful gift!

His most challenging run was without doubt the Great Run along the Wall of China. In Braam’s own words: ”This amazing adventure on the Great Wall of China led me through a magic door in my life that otherwise I would have never even known as there, to a place of greater consciousness. I have gained so much understanding of myself, my place in the world, and the legacy I want to leave behind”.

Braam’s book, “The Great Run – Conquering the sleeping Dragon”, is an inspiring encounter of not only his journey along the Great Wall of China, but also his life journey. It details what he has learned from hardship and achievement and echoes his beliefs that nothing is impossible if you have big dreams.

The book details Braam’s journey along the the Great Wall of China. The dream, the planning and the execution. It is a modern-day adventure where the human spirit overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Driven by passion, Braam draws on his deeper self to fight the physical

pain of running a marathon per day over some of the harshest terrain on earth for 98 gruelling days. With the hottest day of 41 degrees in the Gobi desert and minus 22 degrees in the high mountains, he covers 4, 218kms. “What these guys are going to attempt is physically impossible”, said Professor Tim Noakes of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.

The reader can enjoy the book from a hard-core adventure perspective as well as draw life-changing lessons from the many insights, or parallel life experiences.Professor Noakes wrote the forword and Sunbird/Jonathan Ball are the publishers.
